stud iof-4SM <br />TSU KE <br />The current retaining wall and path to the west dock are in disrepair and in need <br />of renovation. The materials used for the retaining wall are not suited and the wall <br />is poorly constructed. The path is too close to the edge of the water, and severly <br />cross -pitched. This contributes 100% of any precipitaion directly into the lake as <br />runoff. Additionally, it is becoming unsafe for walking, as the ueven stones and the <br />cross pitch make it a tripping hazard that drops off into the water. <br />The proposed solution is to rebuild the wall using larger stones that are more <br />appropriate for a wall. Additionally, moving the walkway in from the edge of the <br />lake serves multiple purposes: it provides a buffer planting strip that will help filter <br />runoff and those plantings will also help make the space feel less like it is pitching <br />into the lake, The proposed vegetative buffer above and below the renovated wall <br />and walk will serve to soften and hide the hardscape. <br />In order to build the wall correctly and replace the path in a better configuration, it <br />will be necessary to remove slighly more area than is currently disturbed. The wall <br />will need to be slighly taller at the south end to accommodate the slope that is cur- <br />rently slumping with the derilect wall. <br />West Dock Renovation <br />Big Island Landscape Project <br />U <br />
